Hi everyone,

I posted a similar ad on the China Off-Topic board, but can any ladies recommend a reputable pharmacy in HK or China that sells either Marvelon or Ortho-Cyclen?

I'm not moving to either of those places, but will be traveling there in a month or so and would like to stock up before my next teaching position in August.

Apparently HK is better in terms of reliability and quality of pills, so is there anywhere in particular that someone can vouch for?

Many thanks.

Watsons, which is a big chain, sells reputable medicine. I know for a fact it does sell the pill, as my wife bought a packet recently. I will check which kind later and post.

Marvelon is available in Watsons/Mannings/Fanda (cheaper) and probably all the little independent pharmacies too.

Most pharmacies/chemists will sell them. Find the smaller ones and they are cheaper than the major stores.
